The Minister of Public Works and Infrastructure:
With regard to outstanding amounts that are owed by schools in KwaZulu-Natal (KZN) to the Msunduzi Local Municipality in terms of outstanding rates for schools in the specified municipality; payment of municipal rates for schools is not in the purview of the National Department of Public Works and Infrastructure, therefore this question can be best responded to by our sister department/s, Department of Basic Education and/or Department of Higher Education and Training, respectively.
